Re: override built-in validation methods

I frequently override validation functions in AppModel, it works fine
for me.

Put a debug statement inside your AppModel's alphaNumeric method. If
it appears, then the problem is in your regexp/validation handling. If
it doesn't appear, you've probably got a typo in the method name.

Also make sure that your AppModel method prototype matches the 'Custom
Validation Methods' prototype from the manual, as it is NOT the same
as the prototype for Validation::alphaNumeric (first parameter of
model validation methods is an array: { key => value }, parameters of
Validation class methods are all scalar).

Actually, this last one sounds like it might well be the answer.
